Pertechnetic acid (HTcO4) is a compound of technetium that is produced by reacting technetium(VII) oxide (Tc2O7) with water or reacting Tc metal or TcO2 with strong oxidizing acids, such as nitric acid, mixture of concentrated sulfuric acid with hydrogen peroxide or aqua regia.[1] The dark red hygroscopic substance is a strong acid, with a pKa of 0.32,[2] as such it exists almost entirely as the pertechnetate ion in aqueous solution. The red color in solution is thought to be due to the formation of the polyoxometallate Tc20O4−68,[3] while fresh HTcO4 is white.[4]

Use of strong enough acid solution, for example, concentrated sulfuric acid, can generate the protonated form, which then exists as the octahedral TcO3(OH)(H2O)2 dihydrate complex.[5]

In aqueous solutions the pertechnic acid is complitely dissociated [6] and therefore it is considered as very strong acid its deviation from ideal activity being due to ion pair and triple ion formation with counter-cation of hydronium.[7]

Density and activity values of pertechnetic acid aqueous solutions at T = 298.15 K are tabulated in.[8]
